Longview Estate

This is a 7 x 10 watercolor. I painted it at a historical estate. The house and it's shadows captured my interest. I couldn't decide which end of the house to paint, but decided on this end because of the garden. I'll have to go back and do the other end. It reminds me of an old New England house.

Oh it's a very nice one. It's so nice to have older houses as they have much more character. Joan if you ever want to use any of my photos on my blog, feel free. I don't know if you do any from photos. I have no problem with anyone from WC using them.

Jeanne, I love older houses too. They seem to have more character and more of an impact. Thanks for offering your photos to use. I do paint from photos at times, but usually from the thousands I take. I laughed when you went to the ranch and took so many photos. I do the same thing all the time.

Sorry, but I was on my sister's computer when I responded to Lori's comment. The comment was mine, not my sister's (Michelle Himes). I couldn't figure out how to switch out of her blog name back into mine.

About Me

I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.
